Alexis Sanchez’s escape route?
Inter Milan could offer Manchester United outcast Alexis Sanchez an escape route this summer after a torrid time at Old Trafford.
Sanchez’s Manchester United career has certainly not gone as planned.
When leaving Arsenal, Sanchez was expected to be a marquee signing for United and would be key in the clubs push for another Premier League trophy.
Instead, Sanchez has become an outcast at Old Trafford, a shade of his former self.
In 43 appearances for Man United, Alexis has scored just five goals and assisted nine.
He even recently described just how difficult he’s finding it right now.
Now, having lost his place in the team and looking down and out, Sanchez could be offered a Serie A escape route this summer.

Wage demands causing havoc
That is because according to the Independent, Inter Milan could move to sign Sanchez this summer.
Their report explains ‘Internazionale are willing to end Alexis Sanchez’s disaster of a spell at Manchester United.’
Though, there’s a big catch.
According to the Independent, Sanchez is currently earning roughly £500,000 a week if you include bonuses.
Those wages have supposedly ‘created a huge problem where sources close to the situation say there is “almost no market for him”.’
While Inter Milan are interested in a potential move, they have baulked at Sanchez’s wage demands.
As a result, Alexis would have to significantly drop his wage demands if a move is to happen.
To end their report on Sanchez, the Independent claim ‘player’s camp are considering whether it would be worth the cut.’
For now, Alexis will just have to bide his time but it would be no surprise if he left Old Trafford this summer.
